Chapter 136

This degree and area of bruising can only be seen after blood drawing.

Every time the man came back, his face was pale and his coat smelled of disinfectant...

Jiang Qiao was stunned, and her reaction was slow. The blood in her body seemed to freeze suddenly. She didn't care about the pain and itchiness on the back of her hand, and touched the man's sleeve with her trembling hand.

The moment they were about to touch, they were firmly held by a big hand.

"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" The man's voice was hoarse from not waking up yet. He subconsciously turned on the night light beside the bed with skillful movements.

He thought Jiang Qiao reached out to scratch the wound.

The dim light illuminated the small space. The man looked at her wound with his brows lowered in the light, frowned and comforted her: "Bear with it, it will hurt more if you scratch it..."

“……………………”

Jiang Qiao stared at him blankly. He could see the man's long and thick eyelashes, straight nose, and sharp facial features that softened under the light, inexplicably showing a bit of gentleness.

The man's well-proportioned arm was covered with bruises, which was shocking. He seemed not to feel it and was still only concerned about the healing scar on the back of her hand...

Lu Xun carefully removed the gauze on the back of the girl's hand and took a closer look to confirm that it was not torn. His frown relaxed slightly and he realized that the girl seemed to have not spoken a word.

"What's wrong?" He looked over and saw the girl's red and moist eyes staring at a certain place.

Following the girl's line of sight, Lu Xun paused for a moment, his handsome and cold brows wrinkled slightly.

The air is silent, with only the rhythmic sound of the clock turning.

A few seconds later, Lu Xun naturally lowered his sleeves, and the bruises on his arms were covered again, as if they had never appeared.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." Lu Xun raised his hand to turn off the night light.

Jiang Qiao finally spoke: "What's going on?"

“……………………”

Her voice was calm, but her fingers hanging by her side were shaking unconsciously, and her eyes were red.

Lu Xun didn't say anything.

Jiang Qiao repeated stubbornly: "What's going on?

"Lu Xun, I'm talking to you."

The girl's eyes were fixed on him.

Lu Xun looked away from her and said, "Physical examination."

His tone was flat, as if he was stating a fact.

"………………Do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Qiao said in a low voice. He roughly lifted his sleeves and stared at him stubbornly: "Is this a physical examination?!"

"Um."

Lu Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he ignored her worries and questions. Even though he had been exposed, he still had no intention of saying anything.

………………

Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Okay, physical examination, right? Where is it? I'll go try it now."

Her eyes were red and she gritted her teeth: "I want to see which hospital it is!"

The girl stood up while speaking, and propped her wrist on the bed. She rubbed the wound on the back of her hand that had just healed, and her face turned pale for a moment.

Lu Xun's face immediately darkened. He pulled her back and pressed her under him to prevent her from struggling and rubbing the back of her hand. He said in a cold tone, "Jiang Qiao, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Qiao was pinned to the bed by the man's strong arms, her face flushed with anger.

But Lu Xun still had a cold and indifferent expression and accused her of making a fuss?

Jiang Qiao's eyes were sore and her heart was throbbing with pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "Will you let me go or not?!"

Lu Xun pursed his lips and said without question: "Don't lose your temper."

Jiang Qiao became even angrier, and she bit the man's finger, trying to get him to let her go.

Lu Xun didn't even frown, and let the girl bite him. Jiang Qiao bit him hard, her small white teeth were very sharp, and she was angry, so she bit him without mercy.

Lu Xun didn't feel any pain. If Jiang Qiao could vent his anger, he would be willing to take a few more bites.

One second... Two seconds...

Feeling the looseness in the girl's mouth, Lu Xun moved his fingers. Just as he was about to say something, the sudden warmth and wetness on his fingers froze him suddenly, and he couldn't say a word.

The girl tilted her head, revealing her fair and slender neck. Her long eyelashes kept trembling, and tears silently dripped from the corners of her eyes onto his fingers.

My throat feels like it's been choked by something, and it's very dry.

“………I’m sorry—”

"I don't want to hear your apology." Jiang Qiao interrupted the man with a crying voice.

There were clearly visible teeth marks on the man's fingers, breaking the skin and revealing a little blood. Jiang Qiao struggled again, and this time he easily pushed the man away.

Jiang Qiao huddled beside the bed, turned her crying face to the other side, and refused to look at Lu Xun.

What she wanted was not for Lu Xun to admit his mistake, she just wanted to know what was going on and what Lu Xun was hiding from her. Her attitude was very clear.

After an unknown amount of time passed in silence, Lu Xun finally spoke: "Jiang Qiao, I seem to be...sick."

There was no emotion in the man's voice, but it made people feel sad for some reason.

Jiang Qiao was stunned.

Lu Xun's Adam's apple rolled slowly: "I know you found out, right?"

Jiang Qiao always wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but he could see that the girl would always be distracted when looking at him.

Every time the girl cast her eyes towards him, it was as if she was looking through him to see another person—Lu Xun before he became "sick".

Her happiness, sadness, worry, and obedience were never towards him.

Jiang Qiao is always...sad.

"I want to try and see if it can be cured." Lu Xun said, "They said there is a new type of mind-disrupting drug that may help my situation. It just requires multiple blood draws to check compatibility, and it's not painful."

"Jiang Qiao, I'm not in pain."

“………………………………”

His eyes were very dark, calm and focused, like an ocean. Not much emotion could be seen in them, yet they seemed to be all suppressed beneath the sea level.

Jiang Qiao was already sobbing and unable to speak. Her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, and she couldn't breathe. She felt heavy and stuffy.

Lu Xun felt that he was sick and he wanted to get cured...

So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is…

However, how can modern technology resist the higher-level system of the other world? Jiang Qiao doesn’t know how to tell him this cruel truth.

Having blood drawn again and again, with bruises all over my arms, how could it not... hurt?

She hugged the man's neck tightly, buried her face in his arms, and said in a nasal voice: "You should have told me earlier..."

"You'll be sad."

Just like now, this is not what he wants.

Jiang Qiao understood and cried even harder, almost soaking the fabric on the man's chest.

Lu Xun just held her and waited for the girl to calm down.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Jiang Qiao finally calmed down a bit. Her eyes were dry and sore from crying. She raised her moist and red face slightly and opened her misty eyes: "What on earth is that medicine?"
